"For the errors ... that haunt large undertakings of this kind, I would like to blame them on someone or something else ..."

John R. Colombo, 1976

"I like to think (and the sooner the better!) of a cybernetic meadow

where mammals and computers

live together in mutually

programming harmony

like pure water

touching clear sky."

Richard Brautigan, "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace", 1967

About me

My name is Patrick Earley. I'm a British Columbian, from the Interior of the province (hence the username). I mostly edit topics related to Canada, but will branch out on occasion to anything that catches my attention. There are many aspects of Wikipedia that interest me; I've been involved with The Wikipedia Library and the WikiEdu Foundation. For ten years, I worked on community health issues as part of the Trust & Safety team at the Wikimedia Foundation.
